With the holiday season fast approaching the newspaper and magazine ads seems to be multiplying. Companies spend a vast amount of money on these ads and I thought we should pay them some attention. Of course not in the way they were intended.
I've attached some ads for your inspiration - use the layouts, colors, style, whatever catches your eye.
The OPD (One Page Doc, aka: Master Challenge Thread) that includes all challenges on one page for your printing convenience can be found here: OPD
If you have any questions please feel free to contact any one of the SBCT (scrapbook challenge team)via pm or simply post your question in this thread.
If you weren't inspired by any of those ads, I have one more.
I didn't get a sample of this one done, but it reminded me of Sally's sketch SBSC114, (which I loved) and thought it would make a wonderful page. I hope to figure out which pictures to use and get a page done soon.
Ooh, these are great, Peggy
I love looking at all the ads this time of year. I like the ones you chose for inspiration.
And those layouts are awesome! Especially your Conversation one. How cute is she?!!!
I'm so bad about checking the Scrapbook challenges b/c Friday and Saturday are such crazy days around here. I'm thrilled that I actually remembered to check the challenges and really look forward to playing with these awesome sources of inspiration!
I love the pages you made and incorporated the ad designs.
What a wondeful challenge...inspiration-type challenges are really my favorite...because I can leech ideas off of people who make a whole lotta $ doing what they do well. I will definitely be joining in on this challenge after work and after I get an order of 20 cards made and in the mail.
Peggy i have a question. I had several marked in a magazine from April, could I use one of those?
fine my me......would you be able to post the ad also? not required, but would love to see how you were inspired and anyone else might be inspired also.

Wow--I really like the ads you chose. It's a busy season for me, but I'm gonna try to make a couple of pages this week now that you've lit a fire of inspiration for me!

Great challenge. I have never thought of getting inspiration from ads. Something that I will have to be on the lookout for now Can't wait to give this a try.

hope you'll be able to do a page or two. You will never look at an ad the same way agan.;)
OK, What are PageMaps cards and where do I find them so I can take a peek????
go to pagemaps.com; off to the left there is a list, click on card maps. I did 2 cards for her Becky's on-line newletter. I'm the only Peggy on there, so not hard to find.
You can sign up to get an e-mail when new maps are posted. I love her sketches!

yes, the square one is Peaceful Wishes with last year's Holiday paper; the long one is BasicGrey paper, used the slit punch for the scallops and the sentiment was something I've had. Thanks so much!
